An every day account of a small racing yard and the highs and lows....

Tuesday, 9 August 2011

It has been another pretty intensive day with the horses - the three 'outsiders' and Spider were all mouthed today with Subo (fat and hairy) long reined. They all went really well and are beginning to act less like wild mustangs and more like well mannered horses. Very satisfying. Amy is coming in tomorrow to get on Cloud, Dolly and Eeyore.
We sent out the invites to our Open Day today which is going to be on the 28th August - it's going to be fairly low-key and a bit of fun - hopefully the youngsters will be ready to have a little pop over the hurdle which could be entertaining.
It's been lovely weather lately and I've been doing a lot of swimming in the river. I don't think I've got time to pop down there before supper - must rush as have been in the office for too long....

About Me

Pauline has been race riding her own horses in point to points for 15 years and is now training with Doug. Pauline has recently got her trainers permit. They are both passionate about National Hunt racing and achieving maximum potential from their horses in the best possible way. This is why ‘Equine Fitness’ is a very exciting new business for them.
In 2006 Doug eventually plucked up the courage (it only took 7 years!) to propose to Pauline whilst they were on holiday in the Maldives and they married in the Lake District in June 2007.
